Welcome to ECSA

The Ethics Centre of South Australia (ECSA) was established in 2005 as a result of a shared vision and collaboration between staff at the three South Australia universities – Flinders University, the University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia – together with the South Australian Government.

ECSA’s objectives are:

  1. To co-ordinate and facilitate a broad range of activities that draw on existing and complementary expertise in ethics research and scholarship in the State’s three universities;
  2. To support and promote ethical debate and capacity in the South Australian community through the provision of independent and impartial advice, research, consulting, scholarship, education and professional development activities;
  3. To foster national and international collaborative research and scholarship in ethics in collaboration with academic and other partners (for example State Government departments); and
  4. To ensure ECSA activities are supportive of and remain relevant to policy makers and service providers.
